This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read these instructions – All the safety and operating

instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Keep these instructions – The safety and operating

instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed all warnings – All warnings on the appliance

and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow all instructions – All operating and use

instructions should be followed.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water – for example,

near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Clean only with a damp cloth. The appliance should

be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. For example, the appliance should not be

situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.

A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,

or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. Battery usage

CAUTION – To prevent battery leakage

which may result in bodily injury or damage to the unit:

•

Install all batteries correctly, + and - as marked on the unit.

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).

•

Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

GENERAL INFORMATION

For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only. These discs are marked “Digital Audio” and with the logos shown below.

Two different types of audio discs are usable on this CD recorder:

– CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs

These discs can be recorded once and will play on all standard CD players and CD recorders, when finalized.

– CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs

These discs can be recorded, erased and rerecorded many times and will play on CDRW-compatible CD players and CD recorders, when finalized.

All Philips CD players and CD recorders with this sticker are CDRW compatible.

To ensure proper working of the unit, we recommend the use of Philips audio CDR and audio CDRW discs only.

Note: Do not use a computer CDR or CDRW as recording will

not work properly!

Recording is permissable insofar as copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed upon.

In some countries, the use of the Philips CDR Mini Hi-Fi system as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the authorization of copyright holders.

For playback on this CD changer and CD recorder you can use the following audio discs:

– All pre-recorded audio CDs

– All audio CDR and audio CDRW discs

Notes: – Do not try to play a CD-ROM, CD-I or CDV!

– CDR(W) discs, which are recorded on a computer,

can only be used when they are correctly treated according to the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer part). Single session only!

If the CDR Mini Hi-Fi system fails to read discs correctly, use a commonly available cleaning-CD to clean the lenses before submitting the unit to repair. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lenses. Always keep the trays closed to avoid dust on the lenses.

The lenses may cloud over when the unit is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD(RW) is not possible then. Leave the unit in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

To take a CD(RW) out of its box easily, press the center spindle while lifting the CD(RW). Always pick up a CD(RW) by the edge and put it back in its box after use. Never write on a CD or attach a sticker to it. Write only on the printed side of a CDR or CDRW, and only with a soft, felt-tipped pen.

To clean a CD(RW), wipe it in a straight line from the center toward the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc!

INSTALLATION

The type plate is located on the rear of the unit.

1 Check whether the power voltage as shown on the type

plate corresponds to your local power voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service organization.

2 Make sure all connections have been made before

switching on the power supply.

3 Connect the supplied power cable to AC MAINS ~ and to

the power outlet. This switches on the power supply.

For optimal performance use only the original power cable.

When the unit is switched to standby, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the unit from the power completely, remove the power cable from the power outlet.

To avoid overheating of the unit, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your unit may disconnect under extreme conditions. If this happens, switch the unit off and let it cool down before reusing it.

The speaker connections are click-fit connectors. Use them as shown below.

1 Connect the colored (or marked) wire to the red terminal

and the black (or unmarked) wire to the black terminal.

2 Connect:

– Left speaker to L (red and black) – Right speaker to R (red and black)

AM antenna

The supplied loop antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Fit the plug of the loop antenna to AM AERIAL as shown

below.

2 Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV, VCR or

other radiation sources.

3 Turn the antenna for optimum reception.

FM antenna

The supplied wire antenna can only be used to receive nearby stations. For better reception we recommend using a cable antenna system or an outdoor antenna.

1 Open the FM AERIAL 300 Ω click-fits by pushing the lever

down as shown below.

2 Insert each wire of the antenna into one hole.

3 Close the click-fits using the lever.

4 Move the antenna in different positions for optimum

reception.

The unit complies with the FCC-Rules, Part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

INSTALLATION

AUX IN L/R

It is possible to use an additional appliance, e.g. tape recorder, TV or VCR, with the unit.

1 Insert the red plug of a cinch cable to the red jack AUX IN R

and insert the white plug to the white jack AUX IN L.

analog input for the appliance.

yAUX Analog is displayed.

4 Operate your appliance as usual and adjust volume and

sound with the unit.

Note: It is not possible to connect a turntable directly to

AUX IN L/R. If you wish to use a turntable with the unit, you have to connect an amplifier to AUX IN L/R on the unit. Then connect the turntable to the amplifier.

LINE OUT L/R

You can use these outputs for playback or recording on any analog audio equipment e.g. amplifier or tape recorder.

• Use a cinch cable to connect the analog audio inputs of the

additional appliance with LINE OUT L/R on the unit and operate your appliance as usual.

DIGITAL IN

You can use this coaxial input for recordings from any digital audio equipment with a digital coaxial output e.g. CD player or DVD player.

1 Use a coaxial cable to connect the coaxial output of the

additional appliance with DIGITAL IN on the unit.

2 Press DIGITAL / ANALOG AUX repeatedly to select the

digital input for the appliance.

yAUX Digital is displayed.

3 Operate your appliance as usual.

A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of your unit dramatically.

1 Use a cinch cable to connect the input of the subwoofer

with SUBWOOFER OUT at the unit.

2 Follow the instructions supplied with the subwoofer.
